Immigrant;

A person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.

Alien;

A person in a country who is not a citizen of that country.

Add the word ILLEGAL in front of either...Nuff Said

No country in the world can allow unlimited immigration. If America opened its borders to all those who wish to live here, hundreds of millions of people would come here. That would, of course, mean the end of the United States economically and culturally.

Yes, they are. They are an unvited force that pushed their way into our country by the millions. If that isn't an invasion then I don't know what is. Alien simply means foreigner. Look it up in the dictionary.

What do you call an army (or collection) of 12-20 million that infiltrate your sovereign Nation without permission? Then proceeded to wreak havoc to the existing social service network?

If they all had on uniforms we would be at war. It is indeed an invasion.

No country in history has survived as a viable nation that has lost control of its borders and permitted unchecked immigration. None.

Boo-Hoo, not PC......

They came across the American border illegally, correct?

That makes them illegal

That makes them aliens

And that makes them invaders.



Following your logic this is OK too I guess.......

Alien simply means a person who is not a citizen of the country in which he/she is living. There's nothing derogatory about it. Actually, illegal alien supporters would like them to be called 'undocumented immigrants,' which infers a possible clerical error, rather than an illegal entry.

1. Alien is the legal definition for a foreigner visiting or residing in the U.S. that is not a citizen or permanent resident.

2. Sorry to burst your bubble but what is an invasion to you? These people have been marching in the U.S. for years now, wreaking havoc in our communities. And there's around 12 MILLION of them. Tell me that's not an invasion

If someone comes into my house, without my permission, they are a criminal.

These ILLEGAL ALIENS are criminals. They don't belong here, they need to go.

And what may i ask are you calling these Ailen visitors who should not be here in this Country and by any illegal means ha!!!!!!! Give me a break, it is people who are ignorant that only help the illegal cause. Illegal is a criminal act, and these people need to be shipped back to their Homeland of Mexico. They love this Country so dang much, and why the hek can't they do it legally, think we know the answer to that, do you.

It is a freaking invasion, they don't belong here illegally do you not udnerstand this. Please, as long as we have people saying they are not invading, they will still come.

There in our Country illegally, bleeding the system dry, working, having anchor babies, what do you call it, i call it an invasion of massive destruction.
